snakey135 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Also regards to lowering... I found MG ZS units with a slight fork modification can give you a nice little drop, and comfort will be exactly as the manufacturer intended! Running this on my deck with ZERO problems so far after about a years driving that route is only if you want a cheap uncompromised option... if you got the pennies then a set of meisters if the way forward 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skitzma8 Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 Alloys will be finished soon just waiting on better weather to paint the last 2 wheels, and I’m also thinking about doing an engine swap in the summer as the 90bhp 1.5 vtec e engine that’s in the ma, is gutless to say the least lol, my Mk1 golf cabrio is a lot quicker. Think I need some b series power! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 MGZS is a good set up mate, although as the MGs are also becoming rarer now same as our Civic M's it might be harder than it used to be finding a set. If you do ho for them, speak to Andrew (noodels) on here about the modified front forks as he did them for his. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
